Benefits of Good Health and Safety
Addressing health and safety should not be seen as a regulatory burden: it offers significant opportunities. Benefits can include:
•reduced costs;
•reduced risks;
•lower employee absence and turnover rates;
•fewer accidents;
•lessened threat of legal action;
•improved standing among suppliers and partners;
•better reputation for corporate responsibility among investors, customers and communities;
•increased productivity, because employees are healthier, happier and better motivated.
Case Study: Sainsburys
An external health and safety audit identified a need to develop a unified approach, and also recommended more direction from the board, to develop an effective strategy.
The result was a radical revision of the company's approach, including:
•the group human resources director creating a health and safety vision, supported by a plan with targets over three years;
•training on health and safety responsibilities was introduced for all board directors.
This has resulted in:
•the board providing a role model for health and safety behaviour;
•17% reduction in sickness absence;
•28% reduction in reportable incidents;
•improved morale and pride in working for the company;
•raising the profile of health and safety so it is becoming embedded in the culture of the organisation.
